The opportunities for hard-hitting ads for Romney abound. I cannot understand why he doesnt see them! Here are just a few possibilities:
1.There were 3 black women that spoke eloquently at the Republican convention: Mia Love, Jane Edmonds, and Condoleezza Rice. An ad with all 3 speaking would be extraordinarily powerful. He could use another one with Hispanics, perhaps explaining why they came over to the Republican side.
2.Obamas own past video clips are absolutely condemning. Remember the one that he says that his plan would necessarily make electric rates skyrocket? And the one term proposition one? The redistributive change one? The promises of an open government? Lots of others that Romney could use.
3.Remind Americans that at the current Obama debt trajectory, the debt share per household will exceed $170,000 in 5 years. A chart showing this would be powerful.
4.Then how about the Biden video that said that whenever they need economic help they call on John Corzine?
5. Explain how liberalism does not work. This is the most important of all. To change the country we need to explain the failure of liberalism in general, not just the failure of Obama. For example, we have been fighting the War on Poverty since the LBJ days, yet we have more people on food stamps than ever before.
It’s not just Romney. If we start listing all the campaign issues republicans fail to exploit, it’s an endless chore.
I think you could create a devastating ad w Obama telling that woman he would let her mother die because she’s “too old”, maybe some references to Obama’s absurd claims doctors cut your legs off needlessly & remove your kids’ tonsils when Obama knows they just have an allergy.
Obamacare remains unpopular yet I see nothing done with it.
I suggest something like this Alabama forty hour week video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJGHVYPG_HY combined with the “Free Obama Phone” woman, with the line...Obama didn’t give you free stuff, WE did...thank us by voting Romney/Ryan in November. Other ads featuring the FOR FREE concept could be effective...ie America is “free” doesn’t mean free stuff and “Free” comes from our soldiers putting it on the line, Be free, don’t get free, freedom not free dumb...
